How the Free Gaming Industry Exploded in India

The online gaming industry in India has massively exploded over the past few years, and a lot of this has to do with the growing number of fully licensed and regulated iGaming sites now available with hundreds of the best games from the industry’s most notable providers. 

Anyone living in India can now sign up for a world-class iGaming site to play a wide range of games on their smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, or laptop, provided they are at least 18 years old. 

Let’s dive in to discover more about how the free online gaming industry is now bigger than ever in India. 

Why are online games so popular in India?

One of the main reasons why classic online casino games, including traditional titles like blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, and poker, as well as online slot machines, crash games, slingo, scratchcards, and bingo & lottery-style games, are more popular than ever is because they are often accessible in the free-play mode. 

In other words, you can practice playing these games to see if you like them, get to grips with the rules and payout structure, and try out certain strategies without risking your hard-earned cash. 

There are hundreds of free-play casino games to choose from, but one of the best games that players can’t seem to get enough of lately is the hugely popular Aviator ‘crash game,’ which is unlike any other traditional online casino game. Oh yes, and by the way, it is free to play, a stat always worth mentioning twice.

What is the Aviator game?

Aviator is not a table or card game and cannot be compared to online slot machines or any of the other games mentioned above. This particular game format is a relatively new concept and has also been described as a multiplier or social multiplier game. 

This popular crash game uses ‘provably fair technology,’ which means that players can verify the outcomes/results themselves, enhancing transparency in the industry and increasing the trust that the results are random and fair. 

It uses an advanced mathematical algorithm program known as a Random Number Generator (RNGs) to produce results with no discernible pattern that mimics real-life randomness, and it has an average 97.00 RTP% (Return to Player) percentage rate.

How to play the popular Aviator game

The aim of the game is relatively straightforward. Select your stake, and then tap or click the confirm button to enter the next round. 

When a new round starts, you will see computer-generated animation of an old-school bi-plane take-off and fly across the screen towards the right. 

As it travels across the game window, a multiplier value will climb in value, starting at 1X and potentially climbing up to 10,000x. All you have to do is click or tap the same bet button, which now has the words ‘cash out,’ before the plane crashes/flies away. 

If you manage to cash out before it flies away, the multiplier value on display will be applied to your stake to reveal the total value of your win. It’s that simple. 

What other free games can I play online?

A company called Spribe made Aviator, and it was the first true ‘crash’ game. 

Today, you can find several other similar games from various other providers, like OneTouch, Gaming Corps, and Ad Lunam, all of which are generally available in the real money mode AND free-play mode. 

You can also find hundreds of free-play online slot machines from award-winning software providers like Blueprint Gaming, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Games Global, Play’n GO, Red Tiger Gaming, Iron Dog Studio, Yggdrasil Gaming, and Quickspin, to name a few. 

Some of these companies have also produced several popular Indian-inspired games, which have massively helped contribute to the sudden popularity of free-play online gaming. Examples include Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, Jhandi Munda, and Namaste Roulette. 

That’s not forgetting the numerous free-play Indian-themed online slots and other computer-generated games with high or above-average RTP payout rates, like Koh-I-Noor, Cricket Crash, Cricket Star, Saanp Seedhi, Idol of Fortune, Traveling Treasure India, Andar Bahar, Ganesha Fortune, Holi- Hai – Festival of Colors, elephant Treasure, Garua Gems, Vikram Aur Betall, and Ganesha Gold. The list goes on. 

Final note

The most important thing to remember about these games when playing them in real money mode is to gamble sensibly and responsibly at all times. In other words, before you start playing, set yourself a reasonable spending budget.
